Colorado Board of Education

The Colorado State Board of Education (CBE) currently consists of seven elected members who serve without pay. Colorado's constitution provides that there shall be one State Board member
elected from each of the congressional districts. When the number of congressional districts in the state is an even number, an additional State Board member is elected at large. This
ensures that there will always be an odd number of persons serving on the State Board.

The scope of the CBE includes:

Setting statewide curriculum standards

Determining qualifications for professional education personnel

Establishing standards for accreditation of local school districts and preparation programs for teachers and administrators

Developing rules and regulations for the administration of state programs
